The MA Social Work is designed to equip you with the skills and expertise that you will need to pursue a career as a successful practitioner within the caring professions. Training received by our graduates has earned us an excellent reputation for subsequent employment.
Many of our graduates go on to work in local authority services departments or continue into further academic research; however social workers may be employed in a variety of settings, including:
the voluntary sector, with organisations such as NSPCC, Age UK, MIND
schools, health trusts or hospitals
area-based programmes such as Ormiston, Connexions, and Julian Support
private businesses, for example in residential care for children or adults.
The School works closely with the University Careers Centre and, together with the School’s Academic Careers Adviser, we will help you to choose your career path and develop your employability skills.
